That’s right, we’re giving away another Helios 2 fly rod.
Here’s how the contest works: All you have to do is use the widget below to tell us what your favorite species to fish for is, and you’ll be entered in the random drawing. One lucky winner can choose from among the array of Helios 2s–from a 2-weight to a switch rod.
You can double your chances of winning by subscribing to the Orvis Mailing list, too, using the same widget.
The contest runs through August 20th, and one winner will be chosen at random to receive the Helios 2 of his or her choice.
OK, I’m entered. Now all I have to do is get lucky and have my name drawn.
That was actually a tough question. Usually what ever is biting, but I chose smallmouth as my favorite.
Walleye.
Brown trout!
Mermaids!
Pollock
Thanks for the chance!

Carp, carp and more carp! I have not fought a fish that pulls as hard for as long. They smash your forearms only to reveal they are 18 inches long and 4 lbs at most. Yes, I am weak. LOVE THEM!
Brown Trout and Sea bass in summer times and Sea Trout in the winter some salamon but not so fun cause of they dont like Dryflys so much :S
Smallmouth
My birthday happens to be Auguest 20th! What a memorable gift this would be.
Nothing like catching a Largemouth Bass on my 5wt Clearwater rod!
Yes please!!
Rainbow trout!
Browns rainbows and steelies. Gotta love orvis fly gear.
Hope I win. It will make up for missing Tom’s podcast today! Tested one of the H2s, its a pretty sweet rod. It would be fun to test one out on some Steelhead.
Brook Trout
Rainbow
Native Brookies
Brown trout
Fly rodding for stripers, where else are you able to catch the same fish that might weigh 2lbs to 60lbs!!!
Rainbow Trout
My 4 piece 6 Wt. is 25 Yrs. old this month. Now a nice new Helios in 4 Wt. would be nice. The old one still fishes great and goes with me to Montana quite regularly. Caught quite a few fall run ups on the Madison with that one.
Rainbow trout!
I like you Orvis, but why does your app need my friends list?
Hi there! Are you referring to Facebook friends list? The widget we use for contests (Rafflecopter) does not require you be logged into Facebook at all. If you give us some more details, hopefully we can help you out. We definitely understand your concern! Feel free to send any further thoughts to social@orvis.com.
Steelhead
Easy. Steelhead.
Just received a new helios 2. Got too cast it today wow what a great rod,
bulltrout
Here’s hoping I have enough of the Luck of the Irish to win. 🙂
Trout.
My choice was mirror carp, mainly because of the challenge. Where I live, we can catch almost all fresh water species around the Great Lakes,but the carp is the most challenging.
Bass
Tom R_______you know who,,ha,ha,,,,
Rainbow Trout
Barbel (barbus barbus) – for the callenge and their strength. It’s affectionately called ‘the poor man’s bonefish’ to which it looks quite similar. Specimen grow up to 20lbs but commonly they average 3-6lbs. They are quite difficult to catch and fight doggedly.
Trout
Hi all,
As a European H2 lover (my H2 4 weight is my only tool on small trout streams) I have to admit: It sucks to be excluded from the sweepstakes.
Norbert
HI Norbert, we do apologize. Do know that this in no way reflects our desire to include other countries. The laws surrounding sweepstakes and giveaways vary by country (and state!) and are quite complex. We would love to eventually be able to legally offer all our contests to all countries – it’s about making sure we’re in keeping with each country’s laws when we do so. Stay tuned.
Trout
I’m a sucker for big Brown Trout!!
pike
Bull trout
I’m not fussy, I just enjoy fishing!
The “Wolf Fish” aka Northern Pike. When they hit they can take your rod right out of your hand, and oh what a fighter. Must use a large arbor with plenty of backing! It is on my “to do ” list to hook a sizable pike on a fly rod. Not all rods can handle this fish but would sure like to use a Helois 2 to do the job. I’m also checking out sporting carp on a fly.
Golden Trout!
grayling !
Trout. Since I am on the Orvis email list, am I out of luck on the 2nd chance?
Seatrouth
Smallmouth bass! (But also anything!)
Snook.
Smallmouth
Trout
Any trout
Widget wanna fish for Rainbow Trout in Oregon 🙂
I love ’em all, but smallmouth where I live!!
Rainbow trout!
I love catch & release of anything biting, but trout are a gift on your hook.
Whatever is biting.
Trout but especially wild browns!!!
Rainbow trout here in Alaska. 🙂
Definitely Brown Trout. By far the most beautiful fish I’ve ever caught.
large brook trout
yellowstone cutthroat!
Seatrout on Danish coast.
Seatrout in Denmark
Great Lakes Steelhead
This would be a fantastic win, and the only way I would be able to afford this rod!
fishing is my life
I don’t often enter contests, but this is way too sweet to pass up. Hard question to answer… I said Rainbow Trout but after reading Sandy’s reply I have to agree the water wolf is a blast on the end of the rod. I can only imagine what it would be like to hook into one or the other with a Helios 2… with some luck I might not have to imagine anymore lol
Please bend the corner on this electronic entry (like a raffle ticket). With all these wanting folks, I need every edge I can get!
I am not lucky enough to win but a 4 weight would be fantastic for pan fish in my area.
My Green Mountain special is old and i am in the need for a new rod. Thanks for the consideration.
Rainbow trout as I caught them when I was growing up in California now that I moved to the East Coast (Virginia) last month I’ll have to see if I like bass or trout more!
Brook trout.
Brooks. They like the cold high country streams.
Big browns on Taney
Rainbow Trout….
My absolute favourite are the Horsefly Strain Rainbows in the Cariboo Region of BC, Canada.
A close second are the Northern Coho Salmon of the Bella Coola River, also in BC.
